About Me

Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!

Tonight, CNN Films, following a new trend to air some
important journalistic documentaries on Sunday nights, re-aired the HBO 2011 original documentary “There’s
Something Wrong with Aunt Diane”, directed by Liz Garbus, link here. The original documentary was made by
Moxie Firecracker films.

The historical details of the 2009 Taconic Parkway crash are
on Wikipedia here. The crash occurred with Diane Schuler drove
the wrong way on the Taconic Parkway in northern Westchester County New
York.

The nearly two hour documentary interviews family and
police, back and forth, trying to reconstruct the events of July 26, 2009,
leading to the head-on collision that killed Diane and seven other people, four
in her own family. The medical autopsy showed
very high alcohol levels and marijuana use, but all the testimony of people who
knew her was that this behavior was totally out of character. So there is not only pain for the families,
there is a real medical mystery. There
is a theory that she was trying to kill the pain of a dental abscess and
somehow went down a slippery slope and did not know what she was doing.

The documentary also traces the desperate attempts of family
to find her and contact police after they realized she was “missing” and not
answering her cell phone, which she left by the road near a bridge.

Mr. L’s Tavern has a blog entry about the crash here. He has his own video there, and the
comments are interesting.

I have not driven this particular highway very often, although
I have been through the general area many times. In 1974, I worked for Univac for a while on
the ATT account in Mt. Kisco.

A word to the wise. I did discover on a recent trip that the
Rockaway Freeway (in Queens, NYC in Far Rockaway) is very dangerous for visitors
who are not familiar with the unusual traffic patterns in some places. It should be much more clearly marked.
